2026 / 2025 / 2024: Trips to Germany - Reefing

Love the video! Those hammer colonies are impressive!

I saw the following two items in a branch in one of the largest pet supply chains in Germany, which typically have a decent and larger saltwater area.

The video contains both, an in tank light (which I have not seen anyone doing before), and the new Tunze coral rotational rock structure.

For the record, I do not believe either of them is a good idea, but I thought it was still interesting enough to share (sorry, I did not have a blue light filter with me on this day)

Price for the Tunze product.

in tank lights just seems like something else to clean, even if they are not at risk of failure. that also sounds like a pain to replace.

Jake Adams had one of those Ecochics in his refugium back in 2015. Pretty cool unit, but yes, another place to clean.

While I had my luggage filled up with various reefing stuff (and Ritter chocolate), not much else was worth recording - and I did not make to Hamburg this time (or Burger Zoo/Netherlands) due to the Berlin trip but will go there next year.

Since Rich made a brief comment about cephalopods just now, it reminded me of one less serious purchase I made to step up my deco game.

Unfortunately, they forgot to make the adjustment to make this fella non-smoking, but the cigar is magnetic and can be removed.

I am now trying to find a way to replace the magnetic cigar with a whistle, but this requires some 3d print skills, and also open for other ideas on what to replace the cigar with.

Whistle. He could be the lifeguard and pool cop of your tank.

Snorkel or mask!
